I like to listen to music while I work—usually Pandora, but occasionally a specific song or video game soundtrack I've pulled up on YouTube—and I'm just coming out of a 10-song set of atmospheric euphoria. Typically when I need to stay focused on what I'm doing, anything instrumental works just fine. The best music, though, is the kind that can just as easily fade into the background as transport me to another world, if I give it half a chance. I've just experienced the dual joy of simultaneously losing myself in my work and my music, and seeing as I've given up Facebook for a while, I'll post about it here instead. Lucky you. Enjoy a glimpse of my eclectic taste in music:"Finding Grace" by Joseph Atkins on Masterpeace"The Memory of Trees" by Taliesin Orchestra on Orinoco Flow: The Music of Enya"Soul Catcher" by Ronda on To Another Place"Defender Red" by PFIFFIN on Morning Star"Velvet Cage" by Steve Stevens on Flamenco.A.Go.Go"Non-Stop Flight" by Tony Pastor on Mr. Pastor Goes to Town"The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly film score" [which is totally not the real title of this piece] by Ennio Morricone on The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly"M08 Floating Museum" by Kenji Kawai on Ghost In The Shell"Home" by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis on The Road"Good Bye Forever" by Arovane on Lilies

At the time of this post, these are all available on Pandora, and come highly recommended. Tune in next time, when my playlist turns to techno and bluegrass.
